Baptism

Parents seeking baptism for infants and their children up until the age of seven should be registered members of the parish and are encouraged to begin preparation for this sacrament during pregnancy.

Parents are asked to call the parish office to make their desire for their child’s Baptism known. Please do not make any definite arrangements for a date prior to this call.  Parents will be interviewed  by a member of the clergy ( priest or deacon ) and then they  will attend a  one night baptism preparation session. This session may be waived if the couple has attended a baptism preparation session within the last two years.
Baptism preparation sessions are ordinarily held on the First Tuesday of each month. Please call the parish office to register for this session. 

​Please use the forms below for registration and more information. These can be sent to the Parish Office by mail, in person or by scanning and emailing the info to

Adults and children who have reached the age of reason (age seven), who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian faith tradition and seek to embrace the Catholic faith, participate in an initiation process called the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). Both adults and children are fully initiated into the Catholic Church during this process, celebrating Baptism, if needed, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.
